What options do I have

I live in Markham, Kennedy/ Major Mackenzie, L6C. My cable has been down for 3 days. I just reported on the direct forum. I am not sure how long it will take to get my problem fixed.

After reading some posts here, I know some people's internet connection has been down for 8-9 days or longer. This really scared me. I rely on internet to work from home often. I can't stand internet downtime for so long.

could anyone give me any suggestion what options do I have now? As I checked, Bell only has DSL 6 in my area. This speed is too low for me. It seems that my only option is still cable. So if I go back to Rogers, will they get my internet online right away? I am not sure because TS uses the same line as Rogers. Anyone has any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

If you use it for work, you should get commercial services. You'll get faster response times. Rogers also gives priority to their own customers, so you will probably get a faster resolution with them.

However, I'd ask if you think this many long outages all over by Rogers is a coincidence. If it isn't and you switch to them, don't you think you're just giving in to more of their unethical practices? You have to do what's best for you, I just hope you consider the impact your decision today will have on your telecom options tomorrow.

I am in the same boat. In Markham and no internet from last 3 days and I rely on it for work purpose. I was with Bell for last 8 years and never had an internet outage that lasted few hrs and here I am with TSI, cost savings- yes, worth it- probably not! actually, Now, i am sure it is not...have to make a decision about leaving TSI soon..very soon. No internet from 3 days, limited to no support on direct forum(standard replies, no value) , no signs of an ETA, loooooong wait time while calling tech support...the only option- suffer in the dark and hope (yes, hope) for the things to change- this is ridiculous.
